The ISO 45001 standard is changing the way we look at and implement health and safety systems in an organization. By focusing on people and their ability to make positive choices, we can make a difference to peoples’ lives. And by implementing the necessary elements of the ISO 45001 we can create a culture of positive behaviours and attitudes that make a difference to every employee and customer every day.

ISO 45001 is the new standard for occupational health and safety management, developed by ISO. ISO 45001 will be used by organizations who want to improve how they manage health and safety management in their organization. It provides guidance to help organizations adopt a systematic approach to improving health and safety. It has become mandatory in some countries, while others are evaluating if it should be implemented.

Tips for implementing ISO 45001 Get commitment and support from senior management

Get commitment and support from senior management - that’s a phrase we hear a lot in safety circles. There is no question about the importance of top level engagement and buy-in for an effective, robust safety culture or to achieve a sustainable focus on continuous improvement. The best implementations today achieve a ‘triple win’ for organizations.

Every individual involved in safety management has an important role to play. However, managing safety also means seeking commitment and support from senior management. This is because senior management, as well as the continued financial support, provides essential stability to ensure that safety programmes are successful.

Engage the whole business with good internal communication

ISO 45001 is a new safety standard which aims to engage the whole business with good internal communication. The theory behind it is - if safety is important, safety should not be left to a select few. Safety must reflect best practice at all levels of the organisation and should be recognised as being the responsibility of every employee. This means that ISO 45001 creates a framework which can systematically enable organisations to minimise risk within an environment where everyone feels empowered and confident enough to take ownership for safety.

Compare your existing systems with ISO 45001 requirements

The implementation of ISO 45001 standard is becoming quite popular among larger companies. This is due to the fact that this standard is the fastest growing organization-wide safety management systems (OWSSM) to date. It covers many diverse areas related to safety implementation. You can usually find it at bigger factories or organizations that trigger hazardous processes on a daily basis, such as chemical plants, oil refineries, power plants, etc.

The ISO 45001 requirements are just guidelines. It is your responsibility to assess your current safety management system and ensure you are meeting the requirements. The more that applies to your organization, the more you should be worried about a new regulation on top of a pre-existing system.
